I don't like these news. It's selling too much.

it has to.. If it doesn't sell 10 million plus shio will spam the forums forever with hypothetical sales numbers.. heck it has to sell 20 million to stop him from doing that... http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=113950&page=1

Now it's certain to sell 20 millions. Starcraft 2 is selling WAY faster than Starcraft 1.

Starcraft 2 sold 3 millions in it's first month.

Starcraft sold 1.5 million in it's first 8 months.

This is a sequel to very popular game, it is bound to be a LOT more frontloaded. I wouldn't be suprised if Starcraft 2 would have sold more in 1 month than Starcraft in 1 year and still lose in total sales.

Let's take example from movie sequels. It isn't rare that sequel grosses more in 1 week that first movie in 1 month and sequel still has a lot lower total gross.
